Bring it on!! Thrilled it’s starting again. A rare SW show that’s incredible.

Do they have to wear diapers for long space flights now?

re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Of course.

They're planning on adding scenes about how to wear space diapers to the original trilogy with deep fake technology in the special special edition!

re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Well, the Razorcrest had some kind of toilet. I'm assuming it got used during long trips. He also probably lived in the ship when no traveling so he and Grogu probably used it while landed. With the new ship, what are they gonna do? Hope they land close to some facilities. Maybe he just keeps a Gatorade bottle handy while in flight.

Luke may have had to wear diapers on some of his long trips in his X-Wing. The TIE pilots were probably ok since they were just short range fighters.

I would assume that Din lives out of his ship, so I'm not sure how that works with what is a modified single-person fighter ship. Especially when he has a second, albeit small, person living with him.

Also not sure where keeps his bounties on that little thing.

Unless its "bigger on the inside."

Ugh, those totally legitimate questions are so 2021!

re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

I should be awake to catch it when it drops tonight. What are the odds that it's 40 minutes or less? ;) I know it's getting old to complain about running times.

Cool poster, but had he gotten the sabre at that point? If not, that's a big ass spoiler of him holding it there.

re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Rumored to be 35.

He got it in the S2 finale and had it on TBoBF.

Pedro Pascal must be swimming in cash. He's got a big hit in Last of Us that's the talk of the TV world and still the best Disney SW series is back

re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Listed as 37.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - Chapter 17 - 3/1/23
 

Yea, I don't think they factor in the foreign language voice credits for it. It was 35 and change when the Lucasfilm logo at the end plays.

Decent start. I like Famuyiwa's direction and he is doing 3 episodes this season as well as being bumped to an EP.

I do wonder about the faction of people who did not watch TBoBF (yes, there actually do seem to be people who didn't) and come in to this wondering what is going on after the S2 finale now that Din and Grogu are back together.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Once again, way too short, lol. So I guess phase 1 is getting back IG-11, nice to see the "Babu" guys again. Did they do more practical shooting for this season? Some of the set pieces looked a but more expansive/real. Andor really spoiled me with it's look, so the "clean" look of Mandalorian stands out a little more (but that's just a nitpick really).

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Damn... I really wish we could see these episodes in a real movie theater.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Decent setup episode. Thought the intro scene was going to be Mando as a kid until he flew in.

I’m glad they did an “explain away” line for Cara Dune instead of recasting. Recasts are lame. Now they’re free to make a new strong female character with a new actress if they want. Or maybe they view Sackhoff as that since she had second billing in the credits.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

It was nice to be in the Mandalorian universe again and briefly see Katee Sackhoff. I like the video game style side quest to get a part for IG-11. But I always get distracted by practical considerations. Like how does a giant monster live in a dessert where there is noting for them to eat. And how does a Mandalorian eat, sleep, and brush their teeth if they can't take off their helmet. Still enjoyed the episode.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

My wife thought the same thing and brought up that if it were Mando, he technically did not finish the creed/prayer before the space alligator showed up. Perfect and quick "out", but I'm sure the fake-out was intentional.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

It was super cool to see the Space Whales. I wonder if it's a setup for this show or a easter egg for Ahsoka series. And I do wonder how lost people are gonna be if they never watched Rebels at all.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Cool first episode!

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

They can take off their helmet. just not in the presence of others

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

I watched all of Rebels and don’t remember them. :lol:

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

I don’t know if I’m just spoiled from Andor, but this left me underwhelmed. Having the main character jump from one planet to another to another on a fetch quest felt very The Rise of Skywalker to me, which I guess was maybe intentional since they threw in the tiny droid repairmen aliens. I was hoping for better than the vibe of what is arguably the worst of the films.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

I didn't watch much Rebels, so I didn't catch the reference. I was fine with it as either something they were going to get back to or just a colorful environment thing.

Re: The Mandalorian (S3E01) - "Chapter 17: The Apostate" - 3/1/23
 

Fun episode, but it was way too short. I was like It's over already?

I :lol: when Grogu tried to hug the little critter fixing IG-11 and Mando said, No it's not a pet.

Katee Sackhoff gets 2nd billing and she's only in 1 scene. I'm sure Bo-katan is a big part of this season.

rotflat that space pirate that looked like a cheap version of Swamp Thing.
